Czech Republic·Czech Premium Pale Lager
Tap to rate

Bohatá 12 is a pale lager with a pronounced malt base, bitterness in balance and a full, well-balanced taste. It is brewed from local ingredients and three varieties of Haná barley – Bojos, Stamgast and Laudis – and stands for pride in the craft and the wealth of the Haná landscape. Litovel ferments in open vats and lets its beers rest in lager cellars at around 1–2 °C.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with a clean, pronounced malt character—grainy and slightly bready, reflecting the three Haná barley varieties used in the grist. Noble hop aromas emerge in a supporting role, offering delicate floral and herbaceous notes without overpowering the malt foundation. A touch of cereal sweetness rounds out the profile, with no detectable yeast esters or off-notes.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and full-bodied, with malt sweetness taking the lead across the palate. The mid-palate develops a balanced bitterness—assertive without harshness—that integrates seamlessly with the lingering malt base. Crisp carbonation cuts through cleanly, preventing any cloying sensation and sustaining the well-rounded, dry finish characteristic of the style.
